Snowboard Pack issues with Balkan

Anyone going to pamps with Balkan starting 30th dec for 8 nights?

Balkan tell me I am ineligible for the snowboard pack (£105) as this only is applicable to 7 night holidays as it provides just six days hire. They recommend I rent seperate lessons, boots, board and pass... totalling about £50 quid more! I have told them that we only want 6 days anyway as we are wine tasting the final day!

''Computer says no'' mentality at Balkan is causing me a real stress... has anyone else had this ...

I would do it this way. You hire your gear for the week, but use it for 8 days. Nobody will chase you for it and you just return it to the depot on your last day.

You can then buy a one day lift pass next to the 3 man chair for approx. £20.

That's what I'd do.

Yes Pete, but they won't give him a 6 day ski pack because he is going for 7 days even though he only wants to ski for 6 days and get drunk on the last.
